Today, we discuss: Is our "gut feeling" a reliable guide, or is it simply a product of our subconscious biases? Can we truly escape the influence of societal judgments, or are we always performing for an audience? What are the unique challenges and rewards of leading a significant project straight out of university? Can a "family" feeling be authentically created within a professional environment, or is it a mere illusion? What are the common pitfalls that can derail even the most talented teams? What are the key lessons learned from the "horror stories" of fundraising and team building? What are the consequences of living a life that doesn't align with our deepest values and desires? How do we understand the difference between concern, influence, and control, and discern when we can apply each? And more!
